This headlamp assembly uses separate quartz halogen bulbs for the low beam and the high beam. Refer to Specifications → Specifications → Bulb Chart for part numbers.
NOTICE
When replacement is required, use only the specified sealed beam unit or bulb, available from a Harley-Davidson dealer. An improper wattage sealed beam or bulb, can cause charging system problems. (00209a)
